Polygamy Between Fairness and Hypocrisy

By Reading Islam Team

Does the issue of polygamy prove how oppressive Islam is when it deals with women or does it rather reveal the hypocritical pretense of those who claim to honor women and yet approve of them as mere mistresses?

Is polygamy a precedent invented by Islam or rather a modification to the unconditional number of wives found in earlier scriptures? Is polygamy the norm in Islam or rather an exception to the rule?
Why were the kings of Europe in the Middle Ages polygamous though the Church's power was at its peak?
Can polygamy be the solution in times of high death rates of men such as in wars? Why did women in Europe after the Second World War ask for a system of sharing husbands?
You can find the answers of these questions and more by listeningto Dr. Jamal Badawi's talk about the issue of polygamy in Islam.
